Part III, June 2014 garden

I'm almost finished with show & tell, so bear with me.

Just a little more on the vegetable garden. We are trying a new trellis system that was featured in Heirloom Magazine from Baker Creek Rare Seeds. It is the Bishop Bean Trellis (Elvin Bishop) and is an inverted trellis. We are using it in 2 1x6 boxes that are side by side, but next year we will use 2 boxes end to end. Even with 3' spacing between boxes, it is going to be crowded when harvest time comes around since the trellises are wide at the top. Can you see the tarp covered mound at the far end? That's my coveted mushroom compost pile.
